Abstract
In this study, the relationships between the material properties of the wall and the fuel mass flux in compartment fire. The fire resistant board (fire-board) and steel plate compartments are constructed with a 0.3 m width, 0.5 m height and 3.0 m length. To obtain the mass loss rate considering the location of the fire origin in compartment, experiments of a heptane pool fire are performed with a combustion area of $0.01m^2$ and $0.0225m^2$. The results show that the initial mass flux of heptane, $0.0087kg/m^2{\cdot}s$, is increased to $0.166kg/m^2{\cdot}s$ for fire board and $0.019kg/m^2{\cdot}s$ for steel plate. It means that the fire-scenario should be considered with the thermal characteristics of the material properties and geometric shapes of the compartment to predict fire propagation accurately in a compartment space.
